Chinese Ceramics

For study purposes

Kudos to Stacey Pierson author! Lecturer in the History of Chinese Ceramics at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London. Previously Curator of the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art which housed one of the foremost collections of Chinese ceramics outside China. I have seen it all and it is magnificent! I look forward to her upcoming cultural history of the Ming vase. Happy New Year! Kenmore Emerson Amateur,Dilletante and Collector

The book examines the evolution of chinese ceramics over time examining locations, techniques, and the stylistic changes. Clearly the author is knowledgeable, but minimal treatment of marks and identification of fakes ( a big issue) so more of a coffee table book than an aid to a collector.

nothing new over the myriad books on Chinese porcelain and missing all the great pieces in the Salting Collection. Plus, the pictures are not of very high quality.

The best book on Chinese ceramics. Highly recommended by the librarian at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum
